How is it legitimate?? Where is immersions device using these patent?? (crickets) ok then, i say they have had more than enough time to develop one; its time to invalidate the patents.

There are three types of patent holders:

1. They constantly develop and update their stuff, like ARM. ARM doesn't manufacture processors, but it does constantly develop new architectures.

2. They sit on bland, obscure patents, such as patents dating back to the late 1990's or early 2000's, and are only widely known when they file lawsuit. RAMBUS would be a great example.

3. They use patents to obstruct their competitors and to gain market advantage over them. Pretty much every tech company falls under this category, including Apple.

very good to see patents still being enforced.

apparently those who are against patents wouldn't mind someone bringing a handful of goliaths to their house, throwing them out the door, and take over their property.

does no one understand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property ?

there does stand, of course, possibilities such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIR_USE_Act that would *potentially* allow a judge to legally allow the sharing of property without consent or compensation.
